Hi All,
Is it possible to find out whether SQL server/MSDE are installed on a
machine using some properties (like we can do it for IE or IIS) ?

Thanks,
Piyush

It's not quite as simple as checking for IE/IIS; there are some registry
entries you need to read, and an API call or two. It's fairly easy to do as
a custom action -- I've done it in the past. Unfortunately, I don't have
the code handy at the moment (it's on a home PC and I'm at the office); I'll
try to dig it up later this evening.

Thanks Jeff,
If you can provide me some hint then it will be very helpful for me.
